The figures come after the Government launched a review into sexual abuse in schools. The website Everyone’s Invited has more than 14,000 posts from children as young as nine detailing alleged sexual abuse at school or university. Jerry Glazier, secretary for the Essex branch of the National Education Union, said: “I think it will cause schools to review their policies to enable schools to feel safe and enable pupils to report if they are being treated or touched in a totally unacceptable way.” A Southend Council spokesman said: “When a school responds to a sexual misconduct report, the council also helps support the victim and their family. There has been a lot of work in the past two years to develop the relationship and sex education curriculum for Southend schools, to educate pupils on what is and isn’t acceptable behaviour.”
“EVERY pupil must feel safe to speak out” about sexual misconduct after stark figures show multiple exclusions in schools. Figures from the Department of Education show Southend schools temporarily excluded students five times for sexual misconduct between 2018 and 2019, which was one more than the year before. Exclusions happened in four secondary schools and one primary school. Across the rest of Essex there were 53 exclusions, down from 55 in the year before, with 49 happening in secondary-schools. The figures come after the government launched a review into sexual abuse in schools following thousands of testimonies from students claiming to be victims online. The website Everyone’s Invited has more than 14,000 posts from children as young as nine detailing alleged sexual abuse at school or university.
